were superior in space exploration. Being the first to send a satellite into space or land a man on the moon ultimately demonstrates advanced science programs‚ technology‚ and economic status. Therefore when the Soviet Union launched the first hand made satellite‚ the United States raced to build‚ test‚ and launch one of their own. After several failures‚ the United States had their first success on March 17‚ 1958 and within the next few months‚ the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)

* What is a ’confined space’? A confined space is a place that is substantially (although not always entirely) enclosed where there is a risk of death or serious injury from hazardous substances or dangerous conditions (e.g. lack of oxygen). Very often‚ injuries and deaths occur as a result of work being carried out such as welding‚ painting‚ flame cutting‚ use of chemicals. Places can also become confined spaces during construction work‚ fabrication or modification. Examples include:

Space exploration Space exploration is one the most compelling problems that we face today and you might think that it is overrated and does not need that much attention‚ but you are wrong. Some people think that space exploration is a waste of money and resources‚ the time wasted in such field should have been used in other important stuff such as ending poverty‚ solving the worldwide economic crisis and trying to end global warming.

The Real Reasons We Explore Space "When you ask people what we do‚ beyond thr broad category of "space"‚ they aren’t quite sure. And if you ask them what we’re planning to do‚ they’re even less sure. But they know that they love NASA. So NASA has what in the marketing dicipline would be called very strong brand loyalty‚ even though people are not familiar in detail with what we do or why they like it‚" says Michael Griffin.

However‚ both movies stayed true to science‚ etc My goal in this paper is to discuss the accuracy of the physics and astronomy in Interstellar‚ and compare it to 2001: A Space Odyssey. To achieve this goal‚ I have divided my paper up into 3 sections. The first section is a brief plot summary of Interstellar. The second section

Without the technology gained from our space program‚ all the other items would have never happened or would have taken a lot longer to be developed. It all began in the late 1950’s with the launch of the Russian satellite Sputnik. Prior to that most Americans assumed that the United States was superior to all other countries when it came to technology. With Russia apparently becoming the leader in space exploration‚ Congress passed the National

This race began on October 4‚ 1957 when the Soviet Union deployed an artificial satellite called‚ Sputnik to orbit in space. Sputnik created a sense of fear in the United States that the Soviet Union had “reached the heavens” with the use of technological advancements. The

The Space and Arms race was an event during the Cold War. It was a test to see which of the two great superpowers‚ the US or the USSR‚ was the superior one. Throughout the Cold War‚ both of the countries believed that the more nuclear weapons you had‚ the more powerful you were. It was also to see which country was more technologically advanced. On October 4‚ 1957‚ the Soviets had launched that which was the spark for the Space Race. They had launched the Russian satellite Sputnik
